Gson is a Java library that can be used to convert Java Objects into their JSON representation. It can also be used to convert a JSON string to an equivalent Java object. Gson can work with arbitrary Java objects including pre-existing objects that you do not have source-code of.
There are a few open-source projects that can convert Java objects to JSON. However, most of them require that you place Java annotations in your classes; something that you can not do if you do not have access to the source-code. Most also do not fully support the use of Java Generics. Gson considers both of these as very important design goals.
Gson Goals
- Provide simple toJson() and fromJson() methods to convert Java objects to JSON and vice-versa
- Allow pre-existing unmodifiable objects to be converted to and from JSON
- Extensive support of Java Generics
- Allow custom representations for objects
- Support arbitrarily complex objects (with deep inheritance hierarchies and extensive use of generic types)

翻译:
Gson 是一个java库,用来将java对象转换为JSON表现。 Gson也被用来将一个json 字符串转换为java对象。Gson可以作用与任意java对象,包括以前存在的,没有源代码的对象。
有一些开源项目能够将java对象转换为json。然而,用gson大多数的时候要再你的类里面加入注解;如果你没有看过源代码有些程序你不能做(不知道)。多数也不完全支持泛型的
使用。Gson认为这些是非常重要的设计目标。
